That seems a remarkably inconsistent position for Jeff to take, given his advocacy for a free market of informed individuals and companies: one would almost think that withholding information would create some sort of dissymmetry in the marketplace...or at least an asymmetry, if that's the word I'm stretching for.
Does this mean we have a new meme: Jeff's Argument? And do we stretch it from here? Jeff's Argument on x
The problem is that to looks a little too like cyber-bullying the vulnerable. I'm sure Jeff is a resilient sort of cove, and fully capable of getting into his own hot water: but if this path is to be taken, which I advise against, cite references please.
Jeff's Argument from cited discussion + reference and link is at least ethically neutral, I reckon.
I quibble, I know, but the good guys have to be better about these things.
